Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
  • ¼ cup raspberry jam

For the Topping:

  • ½ cup white chocolate, melted
  • Fresh raspberries
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

Prepare the Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, beat egg yolks with ½ cup sugar until thick and pale. Mix in vanilla.
  • In another bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add ¼ cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold egg whites into the yolk mixture.
  • Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt; fold gently until just combined.
  • Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.

2️⃣ Cool and Roll:

  • Turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  • Peel off the parchment paper, then roll the cake (with the towel) from the short end.
  • Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

3️⃣ Prepare the Filling:

  • Melt the white chocolate chips with heavy cream in a microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
  • Unroll the cake and spread evenly with raspberry jam, then the white chocolate mixture.
  • Sprinkle fresh raspberries over the filling.
  • Re-roll the cake (without the towel) and place seam-side down.

4️⃣ Decorate:

  • Drizzle melted white chocolate over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Dark Chocolate Twist: Swap white chocolate for dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Berry Mix: Replace raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for variety.
  • Lemon Zest Addition: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a citrusy touch.
